Sheri shared a challenging reminder with our team on Wednesday morning during devotions. The words from this child challenge me and I hope you as well. Who has God called you to be? What gifts have you been given and therefore called to develop and share with this broken world? Is that what you intentionally practice each day? Is that the posture you take when the tough moments and days come? As they say, this is easier said than done. I appreciate the reminder and accept the challenge. Take a listen when you have time.
Library Reshelving Party
Would you please copy and paste this in your blog?
We are thrilled and so grateful for our team of volunteers who work so diligently in our elementary libraries keeping materials orderly and resourceful. Mrs. Hofman works so hard to maintain three enriching libraries at our elementary campuses. At our South Side library we have a bit of a perfect storm....and storms and libraries don't pair well as you might imagine. Several of our volunteers have had to reduce their hours for a variety of reasons and at the same time several grade levels have been engaged in research which involves a massive increase in books being checked out. We are wondering if we could hold a "Book Back Party". On Wednesday, April 18 from 12:30-3:00 we are looking for a team of individuals who would be willing to give up an hour or so to be shown how to reshelve our books (that will include a free crash course on the Dewey Decimal system!) in our South Side library. If you have the time and are willing to spare an hour to return our library to tip top shape, would you please email Miska at mrynsburger@hollandchristian.org . We will even provide refreshments to help make the work fun and delightful. More importantly, we hope the feeling of knowing you are an integral part of making your child's education excellent will be rewarding as well. Thank you for considering!
Pine Ridge POD Group
We have a group from Pine Ridge coming on Wednesday, April 18. They will be here from 1:00-2:00. If you need ANYTHING cleaned, organized, counted, restructured that 3rd-6th graders could handle, would you please let me know via email? I will put together a task list for the kids and we'll get it done1
Staff Meeting
Please plan for a K-2 staff meeting on Thursday, April 19 over the lunch hour. Thank you!
Elementary Collaboration
Our final round will be April 19 and 20. Please take a look at the agenda. The bulk of the time will be set aside for every grade level to complete Rubicon! Yahoo!
Society Meeting
You are invited to attend the Society Meeting on Thursday, April 19 at 7:00. It will be held in the lecture hall at the high school rather than the auditorium due to the high school play.
Facility Cleaning Schedule
Please read through this document provided by Paul Klokkert guiding us through the cleaning requests to stage for the summer cleaning crew. It's very thorough!
Additionally, please see this note from Paul for our prep. We will run this in the blog for a few weeks (8 to be exact) for reference whenever you are ready:
Dear South Side Staff,
We will start cleaning classrooms during the week of June 11th with Ritsema, Dreyer/Hunderman, Bohle, VanMeeteren, Klipp-Lopez, the ESS and Shalom Rooms.. We will be removing as much furniture out of your classrooms as possible to clean the carpets (with the exception of the very heavy bookcases) and to refinish your tile floors. We are hoping to be done with the classrooms by the end of June as we will then be heading over to HCHS. The summer cleaning crew will attach a cleaning checklist to your classroom door when finished. We are tentatively planning on refinishing the hard floors (hallway and classroom) between June 18-29 so please make plans to not be in the building during that time. We will keep you updated on the completion of this task.
Please do a few things before you leave for the summer.
Please:
1. Please take home any valuables or personal items. We may have contractors who will be in the school this summer, and we don't want anything broken or stolen.
2. Clear off your desk. The more clear surfaces we have the faster and more efficiently we can clean your classrooms and stay on schedule.
3. Submit any maintenance requests for your classroom that needs our attention.
4. Submit any Summer Painting Requests (the Google document is attached to this email).
4. Please make a room diagram of your classroom so the summer cleaning crew can set up the room in the layout that you would like for the start of the school year.
We look forward to you returning to a cleaned and sanitized school in the fall. I am confident that all of our summer projects will get done with your help by doing the things listed above. Also enclosed to this email is the Summer Cleaning Schedule and Guidebook, which I have been updating, and modifying for the past couple months. It will provide information regarding the projected timeline for the cleaning projects that will be administered throughout the summer and it should provide a reasonable expectation of when we are planning on cleaning your classroom.
Thank you very much! We look forward to meeting, and hopefully, exceeding your expectations.
Field Day
Is set for Tuesday, May 29 in the afternoon. Will this work for everyone?
